I finally got a chance to work with this again and this time got in touch with the isp. it turns out that they one of those that bind the client eth0 h/w addr into their config. (i guess this process happens automatically during the setup under windoze..)and they ARE running pppoe and not dhcp. unfortunately, i still could'nt get the adsl to come up. the logs still show the same .... ---- .......Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/pts/2 .......Timeout waiting for PADO packets .......LCP: Timeout waiting for Config-Requests ---- the Roaring penguin site mentions not to use the clients thats ship with distros.. viz RH. so i'm going to the take the latest rp-pppoe, that i just downloaded tomorrow on a disk and try all over again....
